Abstract

The novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” is written by Khalid Hosseini, an Afghan American writer, about the lives of Afghans in Afghanistan. Considering the novel as a social semiotic, this paper intends to analyze the politeness strategies used by the two main characters: Mariam, the female protagonist, and Rasheed the male antagonist to conclude whether the female character is more polite or the male character. This paper is qualitative research, and it uses the theoretical framework of Penelope Brown and Stephen Levinson. The result of the paper indicates that both the characters used bald on record dominantly followed by positive politeness, negative politeness, and off record; also, the result indicates that women are more polite than men in the novel. It is because the female character used more off record and negative politeness than the male character. This paper adds to our knowledge of how the female and male characters are portrayed in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, and it also suggests that future researchers conduct ethnographic research to conclude about the politeness of the male and female in Afghan Society itself.

Abstract

Abstract: In the last ten years, studies of the representation of moral values in English textbooks have been growing. However, little empirical evidence reveals the use of speech acts to represent moral values through utterances. This study aims to investigate the representation of moral values depicted through utterances in English textbooks for elementary school grades 2 and 5 in Indonesia. By adopting a socio-cognitive critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 2015) framework integrated with Searle’s (1969) speech acts, this qualitative study elucidates the representation of moral values only in the verbal text. The data were analyzed by applying several steps, including unitizing, sampling, recording/coding, reducing, inferring, and narrating. The findings of this study showed that curiosity, honesty, and friendliness are the most dominant moral values depicted in two English textbooks for elementary schools in Indonesia.  Dialogue/conversation, chapter cover, and instruction for students’ activity are the strategies to promote moral values in the textbooks. This study implies that teachers and textbook writers should provide students with more examples of moral values, particularly those related to daily life communication.

Abstract

 Studies of the representation of moral values in English textbooks in Indonesia have developed in recent years. However, there is still little research that reveals the use of speech acts to represent moral values through sayings presented in elementary school students' textbooks. This research investigates the representation of moral values depicted through sayings in international English textbooks for elementary schools in classes 2 and 6 in Indonesia. By adopting Searle's (1969) speech act theory, this qualitative research explains that the representation of moral values is only found in oral texts. The data were analyzed by applying several steps from Krippendoff (2004). The findings of this research indicate that responsibility and kindness are the dominant moral values depicted in two English language textbooks for elementary schools in Indonesia. This research implies that teachers and textbook writers should provide students with more examples of moral values, especially those related to daily life communication both at school and in the family.

Abstract

Fenomena kebahasaan tidak hanya ditemukan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, tetapi dapat pula ditemukan di acara televisi, seperti acara pencarian bakat Indonesian Idol. Fenomena kebahasaan yang dapat diamati dalam acara tersebut salah satunya adalah modifikasi tindak tutur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengaji penggunaan modifikasi internal dalam tuturan encouraging juri Indonesian Idol Special Season dalam memberikan komentar penampilan peserta. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini merupakan data autentik (data alami) yang berupa data lisan dengan bentuk dialog atau percakapan. Data yang digunakan bersumber dari acara pencarian bakat Indonesian Idol Special Season yang tayang pada stasiun TV RCTI. Dalam penelitian ini, sumber data diperoleh dan diunduh dari platform Youtube pada chennel resmi Indonesian Idol. Setelah diunduh, sumber data yang digunakan ditranskripsikan ke dalam transkripsi ortografi untuk memudahkan mengklasifikasikan data. Data yang telah ditranskripsikan akan diobservasi dan diklasifikasikan ke dalam kategori modifikasi internalnya masing-masing. Kemudian, data dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis kontekstual dengan teori tindak tutur dan modifikasi internal. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan modifikasi internal dalam tuturan encouraging juri Indonesian Idol Special Season terdiri dari dua jenis, yaitu penggunaan upgraders dan lexical/phrasal downgraders. Pada kategori upgraders, penanda yang digunakan berupa intensifier, commitment indicator, suprasegmental emphasis, expletive, repetition, dan determination marker. Adapun pada kategori lexical/phrasal downgraders, penanda yang digunakan berupa hedge dan downtoner. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perbedaan tata bahasa antara bahasa Inggris dan bahasa Indonesia menyebabkan banyak klasifikasi modifikasi internal sulit diterapkan dalam bahasa Indonesia. Meskipun demikian, penggunaan modifikasi internal tidak hanya ditemui pada jenis tindak tutur meminta, tetapi dapat pula ditemukan pada jenis tindak tutur lain, seperti tindak tutur memuji dan tindak tutur menginformasikan. Selain itu, penanda modifikasi internal dalam bahasa Indonesia dapat direalisasikan dalam bentuk formal maupun informal.

Abstract

Jorinda & Jorindel is one of the horror tales rewritten by Brother Grimms. Jorinda & Jorindel as the protagonists in this story faced a catastrophe caused by supra-natural terror and kidnapping committed by The Evil Witch. In realizing such narration, language plays a significant role to depict the characters’ feelings or emotional state that gives the text mood. Such language is technically perceived as the affect. It is one of the attitude domains under the theory of appraisal. By applying appraisal framework (J. R. Martin & Rose, 2003) as the development of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, this descriptive qualitative study attempts to describe affect prosody in the tale of Jorinda and Jorindel. The study found that in the orientation the story is full with the good vibe linguistically represented by positive effect felt by the protagonist. It then changes radically into negative affect (antipathy, unhappiness, and insecurity) as well as the antagonist (antipathy), It then begins to return to equilibrium represented by the positive affect in the evaluation (happiness and security). It continues in the resolution where the positive affect (happiness) fulfills the protagonists’ hearts but not with the antagonists’. It is because her evil life has been over. The findings imply that the affect resonates from the positive to negative and returns to positive

Abstract

This research examines the two factors which effect on the raising of Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference. It aimed at delineating the potential effect of these two factors on the arising of Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference of undergraduate students majoring in English department of State Islamic Institute of Tulungagung and PGRI teacher training college of Tulungagung. 213 Javanese undergraduate students were selected based on two-step purposive sampling. To collect data, the researcher used observation and questionares in which the participants answered a set of 12 open-ended questions to measure the students’ term along with educational institution and Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference. To analyze the data, t-test on correlation and coefficient as well as linier stepwise multiple regressions were conducted through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. Data analysis indicated that the independent variables significantly correlated with Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference. In addition, multiple regressions analysis specified different higher institution as the main contributing variable and students’ term as the second one on the arising of Indonesian interference. It also showed that students of English departments of state Islamic institution of Tulungagung got higher scores on the arising of Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference than those of PGRI teacher training college of Tulungagung. The reason may refer to the supporting environment that is higher language exposure. The results highlighted the longer the students’ term they have, the lower score on the arising of Indonesian morphology-syntactical interference they produce.

Abstract

Impoliteness in language reflects complex social dynamics, especially in audiovisual media where characters perform identity, power, and gender roles through dialogue. However, few studies have explored how gender-based impoliteness unfolds in fictional narratives, creating a gap between theory and media representations. This study investigates impoliteness strategies and gendered linguistic features in Season 1 of the TV series Euphoria. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzes 50 impolite utterances through Culpeper’s (2011) framework of impoliteness and gender theories from Lakoff (1973) and Coates (2013). Findings show that both male and female characters most frequently use the Bald on Record strategy, but female characters employ impoliteness more often. Taboo words emerge as the dominant linguistic feature across genders, with higher intensity among females. These results challenge conventional views of women as more polite or indirect speakers. In Euphoria, female characters use language typically associated with masculine speech, aggressive, explicit, and confrontational, indicating a shift in gendered communication patterns. This research highlights the urgency of viewing fictional media as a sociopragmatic lens to understand how language, gender, and power interact. It offers new insight into how media narratives can subvert traditional gender norms and reflect evolving linguistic behaviors.
